Again. What if we just ask adult ex-smokers how they're doing after they've switched to #SaferNicotine vaping?

(1) Found on social media. These organizations use images of children, puppets and cartoon characters vaping. They inform teens "all your friends are doing it" and "they come in yummy flavors."

Economics: Every market analyst on Earth sees product substitution as an absolute certainty: Nicotine vapes displace cigarette.

Tobacco Control: "Experts" continue to claim "there is no evidence that e-cigarettes help smokers quit."

THEY CAN'T BOTH BE RIGHT
@FCTCofficial 2/3
Now the dark side: Market analysts have access to detailed market data showing product substitution. So do Tobacco companies.

#BigTobacco is sitting on conclusive evidence that could settle this debate. Why not share it?

BECAUSE THAT WOULD SPOOK INVESTORS

Over 35 respected scientific & public health organizations, and governments, around the world that have reviewed the evidence and issued public statements concluding e-cigarettes are safer than smoking. 2/8
None of these organizations have "industry influence." In fact, according to the @BloombergDotOrg-funded front group, @exposetobacco, the one country that makes the strongest public statements (the UK) is among the 4 least influenced by big tobacco.

@AmericanCancer: CHANGE YOUR POSITION ON ECIGS

November 2019: Because "use of e-cigarettes in young people has since skyrocketed to epidemic proportion," ACS decided to stop telling smokers the truth ("less harmful than smoking cigarettes").

@Megarittz @mihotep @TobaccoFreeKids @truthinitiative @BloombergDotOrg San Francisco banned 'flavors' in April 2019

RESULT: Young adult use of "flavored tobacco products" did not drop "sharply." E-cigarette and cigar use dropped a bit. And cigarette smoking increased.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… @Megarittz @mihotep @TobaccoFreeKids @truthinitiative @BloombergDotOrg JUUL funded external researchers to look at the impact of e-cigarette bans. The total ban in MA caused cigarette sales to increase dramatically. Flavor bans in Rhode Island and Washington state caused cigarette sales to increase about 5%.

I'm sharing these 10 online surveys with permission. Assume they may be biased because we, in the #VapeFam, self-select in (we had positive experiences switched from smoking to nicotine vapes). Still very interesting! 93% of nicotine vapers say their health has improved.

How does @FDATobacco portray a 29% drop in US teen vaping, in just one year? To begin with, it ignores the fact that NYTC doesn't ask what kids are vaping (YRBS showss half is THC, not nicotine). It claims teen vaping is still alarming. 2/5
Let's see what that actually looks like when the Y axis is set at 100% instead of 30%. And we add the latest survey finding showing ANOTHER 32.4% drop in teen "regular use" (which includes even one puff in the past 30 days).

Then add YRBS data: Half of that is THC.
